One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This is the most insane paragraph I've read in a mainstream paper maybe ever

Heritage Foundation authored Project 2025. Russ Vought was VP at Heritage Action. What in the literal fuck are you talking about

The US Government shutdown Has now cost $7 billion in GDP, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Update from Dana Rubinstein

Trump acknowledges that Republicans are losing the public battle over the government shutdown, attributing their election losses tonight to the spending standoff. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from “Packing,” No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!

speaks volumes that Trump's response to tonight's resounding defeat is to demand Republicans redouble efforts to rig elections

Ninth Circuit Restores Block on Trump’s Portland Guard Deployment Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted to rehear President Donald Trump’s Portland National Guard case Tuesday — a step that vacates an earlier ruling that allowed Trump to federalize Oregon’s troops and deploy them against local protests. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This should be good: Judge assigned to decide the motion to dismiss Comey case based on the allegedly unlawful appointment of Lindsay Halligan orders government to produce everything about Halligan's participation in indictment, INCLUDING the grand jury transcripts.

i think this basically gets to @jamellebouie.net's point. this is a document that is attempting to solve a perception problem by doing policy. but biden made economic policy--IRA, CHIPS, BIF--absolutely central. every national dem has been running away from "abolish the police" for years!

I’d like to have AOC read Virginia Giuffre’s book on the senate floor as a filibuster.

Illinois’ benefits website warns that the Trump administration is to blame if SNAP benefits go away

Now what he didn't say

BESSENT
He owns land in North Dakota
He RENTS IT OUT
He's a hedge fund f💩ck
He is NO SOY BEAN FARMER

He is a landlord liar

Senate Chaplain Dr. Barry Black on the floor today:

"Lord, remind our lawmakers that no gold medals are given for breaking shutdown records."

Here’s all the journalists at CNN who resigned after their CEO Mark Thompson told them to scale back reporting on Trump’s demolition of the East Wing.

Stephen Miller is the American equivalent of Hitler's chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels. Hateful and dangerous. #antifascist #antifa #fascist #goebbels #Miller #trump #musk #vance #hegseth

So while even Josh Hawley is willing to bring a bill to the floor to make sure the most vulnerable don’t starve, Thune wants to use hunger as leverage to force a Dem surrender.

The poor aren't free riders. The billionaires are.

Oh look a politician who actually can add 1+1

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

If you think Trump can’t misuse the nuclear codes because "people would stop him" well those same people just watched him bulldoze a wing of the White House.

Bill Cassidy, this is your legacy.

The easiest way to stop this would be to pass a law that when the government is shut down, none of the 535 voting members of congress and none of their congressional staff gets paid.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - WHO’S A CHILD RAPIST - IS GOING TO STEAL $230 MILLION FROM US B/C HE THINKS HE’S DUE REPARATIONS FOR HAVING BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF CRIMES HE COMMITTED.

THIS IS WHILE HE SMASHES THE WHITE HOUSE & WEAPONIZES OUR MILITARY AGAINST US.

Tax cuts for the rich in 5 red states have cost residents whopping $2.2 billion: report A progressive think tank has found that America’s wealthiest citizens aren’t just benefiting from the federal tax cuts passed in Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act this past summer, but from tax ...

Republicans want you to loudly fight about cultural differences with your neighbors so that they can quietly cut taxes for millionaires in states they control (on top of federal cuts).

U.S. marshal and undocumented immigrant shot during ICE stop in Los Angeles, officials say

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

Honestly, unleashing this cadre of mediocre white boys who credited themselves with Obama’s political talent is actually the worst thing Obama did domestically

Prosecute these treasonous corrupt fuckers for destroying our national heritage.
